Question

Backbencher Developer · Answer

Do not wrap naturally asynchronous I/O in Task.Run; expose and await its async API. Task.Run is appropriate mainly for CPU-bound or unavoidable blocking work that you intentionally move off a UI thread.

Example:
public Task<Result> DoWorkAsync(CancellationToken ct) =>
    Task.Run(() => DoWork(ct), ct);

In ASP.NET Core, Task.Run does not make blocking work scalable: it still consumes a thread-pool thread. Prefer replacing the synchronous dependency, or run long work in a bounded background queue and return a job identifier. Pass cancellation, observe exceptions, and never fire-and-forget request-scoped work.

public void Dowork(); public async Task PerformOperationAsync() { //Call here the //synchronous method //Dowork() //asynchronously; }
